1. This is a show for individual artists and not for commercialism or dealers. Any on-site work must have prior written approval. Final interpretation of commercial status will be made by the Spring Arts Festival Rules Committee.

2. Artists will not be limited to a maximum number of works. Only one exhibitor will be permitted in each space. A two-person team or partnership producing a single product may qualify as a single exhibitor if this is adequately explained in writing at the time of application. The displaying exhibitor must be the same person who filed the accepted application. If you are accepted as a two-person team, BOTH artists must be present throughout the weekend.

3. “Alternate” status does not imply that the artist’s work will be chosen to participate in the Festival. Artists that are selected will be notified by Festival staff. Regardless of “Alternate” status, NO EXHIBITORS will be added after noon on Friday, April 1, 2016.

4. All works must be original works of art done by the displaying artist. Works reproduced from the masters, from advertisements or from widely circulated photographs are not considered original works of art and are unacceptable. Only works typified by slides shall be exhibited. Exhibitor shall be personally liable for any copyright infringement, violation of copyright or other ownership interest or licenses. Exhibitor, by accepting our invitation to participate and actually participating agrees to indemnify and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless, the Santa Fe College Spring Arts Festival and Santa Fe College and Foundation for any alleged or actual infringement or violation of copyright laws or rights by the Exhibitor Artist.
